mathrsfs problem with ucthesis.cls

[Prabir Barooah]

Hi,
I was wondering if any one has any experience with the ucthesis.cls
class files and figure out this problem I am having. When I try to use
the fonts of the mathrsfs package by
doing the following:
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
....
\mathsc{L} = A....

somehow the mathcal fonts are used in place of the ones I wanted to
get. I read somewhere that if load the package eucal with the option
"mathscr", then \mathscr{} is redefined to be \mathcal{}. But I
didn't do it anywhere, so it must be the ucthesis.cls class file that
is doing it, since any other class file produces the right fonts. I
tried to poke around the .cls file, but couldn't find anything.

any suggestions will be welcome

Boru,

The following minimal document compiles fine on my system (MiKTeX 2.5)
and shows the mathscr fonts:

\documentclass{ucthesis}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}

\begin{document}
Test document
\[
\mathscr{L}=A
\]
Just a test document
\end{document}

with the following file list

*File List*
ucthesis.cls 2004/12/19 v3.2 University of California Thesis Class
mathrsfs.sty 1996/01/01 Math RSFS package v1.0 (jk)
ursfs.fd 1998/03/24 rsfs font definition file (jk)
***********

So it can't/shouldn't be the ucthesis document class that is causing
the substitutions. Loading the package
\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}
_after_ the mathrsfs package _does_ change the mathscr fonts into
mathcal-like fonts, but not the same. With loading the eucal package,
I have the following file list:

*File List*
ucthesis.cls 2004/12/19 v3.2 University of California Thesis Class
mathrsfs.sty 1996/01/01 Math RSFS package v1.0 (jk)
eucal.sty 2001/10/01 v2.2d Euler Script fonts
ursfs.fd 1998/03/24 rsfs font definition file (jk)
ueus.fd 2002/01/19 v2.2g AMS font definitions
***********

However, if you're not loading eucal, then I'm not sure what may be
going on. Perhaps you can send your preamble to give an indication of
what you're loading... More than that I wouldn't know.

Hi Werner,
thanks for checking - your test convinced me I was doing something
wrong, and indeed I was. I was using a style file written by someone
else and in there mathscr was loaded with mathcal option:
\RequirePackage[mathscr]{eucal}
Now things work!

thanks,
Boru
